Hello to all!
Here comes another dummy question:
​
Trying to create a table_list filter with two or more dropdowns so they FILTER TOGETHER.
For this I created a code to put in READ_DATA Conditons rules :
​

$projVaditajs = $this->data('projVaditajsFilter');
$ligStatuss = $this->data('ligStatussFilter');

if (!empty($projVaditajs)) {
     echo "Submission.projVaditajs/like:%{data:projVaditajsFilter}%";
}

else if (!empty($ligStatuss)) {
     echo "Submission.ligStatuss/like:%{data:ligStatussFilter}%";
}

?>

​
Unfortunetely second dropdown - ligStatussFilter does not filter anything.
​
What am I doing wrong?
​
Thank you in advance -

Just add multiple WHERE conditions to the read data action, with "continue" in the dropdown, which means if it's blank ignore it

That was my first thought; however if I choose Continue, I get an error: YOU HAVE AN ERROR IN YOUR SQL SYNTAX; CHECK THE MANUAL THAT CORRESPONDS TO YOUR MYSQL SERVER VERSION FOR THE RIGHT SYNTAX TO USE NEAR 'OR' AT LINE 1
​
My where conditions was as follows:
​
Model.field1 LIKE {data:dropdown1} CONTINUE
OR
Model.field2 LIKE { data:dropdown2} CONTINUE

Can you screenshot?

Hi Elita,
​
beside listing and filtering, what else your table is supposed to do ?

1) I don't think it should be "LIKE" I think it should be equals, surely?
2) Can't use an OR there, because if proVadaFilter is null, that first constraint won't be added then you end up with "SELECT * FROM table WHERE OR second_constraint"

jeah... so what should I do to FILTER the table with two or more dropdowns in cascade? ??
​
Max, table is simple submissions list - it is designed to keep agreements records:
​

The "upload" and "box" icons what are they supposed to do ?
​
The dropdown ? you are updating selecting records ?
​
The "wrench" icon is for what ?

1) Wrench icon button is for Edit - it opens edit form wihich does not include file upload - the reason I will describe below.
2) Archive icon (box) button is for Uploaded file - If file (Agreement) is uploaded then it shows (switch ) the icon and one could download that file or take a look at it if needed;
3) If there is no file uploaded then there goes the last column - it opens the file upload form - here I have issues too - will describe below.
4) Column "Liguma statuss" contains simple dropdown for Status update and will be loop saved with the blue button "Saglabat labojumus";
5) first blue button opens the ADD New agreement form.
​
So far so good - all of this is working more or less.
​
Now the issuses:
​
1) I need three dropdowns that would filter the table - mostly it would be needed as follows:

1. First, the table would be filtered by the Project Manager (column Projekta vaditajs Name: [projVad] ) - that is existing dropdown above ;
2. Then filtered by the "Liguma status" Name: [ligStatuss] - Existing column with inline dropdowns;
3. then perhaps filtered by the "Klients" Customer Name [Klients] or vice versa (3. 2.)

The Ideal conditon would be that all those filters would work either independently or cascading.
​
In adittion, I have one problem with the last column - file upload.
Tried to implement POPUP form open from your Demo form. Unfortunately, there are some changes and I was not able to recreate that Demo since form fields area is depreciated; With Form area POPUP acted strangely - it was "hidden" below the table uper row and I was not able figure out what causes that.
Then I tried to create Modal form in CF6 - it works flawlessly alone; however when I implement that in the table, it does not work - opens white screen in new window.
So, for now I left file upload form opened in new window. It would be nice If i could implement popup though;
​
Other thing that I have not figured out FOR YEARS - since I started using CF and CCv - how to deal with the file upload in Edit form.
As far I understand - there is not possibility to read back uploaded file name in the file upload field; so I use text field to read stored filename; To avoid overwriting I cannot place other file upload in the same form; so I decided to do that the way described above; have separate file upload form.
(I am lazy enough to find the proper solution for this problem🙂)
​
So, Max, your kind input will be very much appreciated.
And again, thank you for these great products!
